PLEASE HELP! My son is 5 (6 in May). His skin in super sensitive. I have tried many soaps and he gets rashes or they dry his skin out terribly. I have been using moisturized baby soap on him and it works, but it seems like it doesn't get him totally clean. He is an active boy and needs a little more cleaning than baby soap, but I can't find anything that won't cause rashes or dry his skin out. Any suggestions?? All help is greatly appreciated!!!

This is very similar to my son's case at that age. He is nine now and just getting out of it. Anyhow, I agree with Aveeno products, they work well as does any of the children's product in the Burt's Bees line (found at health food stores, costly though). Any store will carry the soap free product called Cephasil. It works nicely and yes, it does clean even though it is soap free. Aquaphor is the best body lotion, it comes in a tub and you can find it at any large store chain. There is light at the end of the tunnel...he will grow out of it! Best of luck!!

Huggies has a line of cleaning products called the clean team, and they work really well. My 7 year old is sensitive and very picky and she loves them. They have pre-soaped bath mits, body wash, shampoo, etc. If that doesnt work, you might try to find a soap for adults in a very sensitive skin formula. Good luck!

AVON has good body soaps that are moisturizers and for sensitive skin that clean really well. I use the Skin So Soft soap for my daughter. You can contact your local AVON rep or go on line to AVON.com Good luck I hope you find something that works.

Try Dove sensitive skin or Ivory.

aveeno for babies, I know a 5 year old is not a baby, but it can use it on small children such as toddlers. its smells good & it doesnt irritate the skin

Try Aveeno soaps and lotions.

"Johnson & Johnson" is a good brand... but if u have a local REVCO drug store, ask there... they'll advise u what to use!
